This is a comprehensive introduction to the American legal system for students and general readers. The book uses anecdotes, historical detail and scholarship to describe the variety of American laws, from antitrust to tort law, and explains how these laws are made and how they are administered. Taking account of important cases and legislation, the book explores the way changes in American law mirror and sometimes prompt changes in American society.
